Shepherds Pie

Ingredients
- 1½ pounds ground beef
- 2 large carrots, peeled and shredded (about 2 cups)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup chopped onion or 1 teaspoon onion powder
- One 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- One 14½-ounce can tomato soup
- 1½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup corn kernels
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cups mashed potatoes
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly oil or coat a 9 x 13-inch baking pan or dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat. Put in the beef, carrots, garlic powder, and onion, or onion powder. Cook it. Break up the big chunks. Do this until the meat has no pink color and the carrots are soft. It takes about 5 minutes.
- Drain excess fat.
- Stir in the beans, tomato soup, cheese, and corn. Simmer until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To make the mashed potatoes, add potatoes to a large pot and cover with water (about 1 inch).
- Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer.
- Simmer for 10-15 minutes until fork tender.
- Drain potatoes and mash
- Arrange the meat mixture evenly in the prepared pan. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly on top.
- Bake until the meat mixture starts to bubble and the potatoes are heated through, about 15 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and broil until the top turns golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes.
